Flight-1 are excited to announce another outstanding addition to their team in Europe: Pete Allum! Pete will be running courses throughout Europe focussing on Spain and Italy.
Pete started jumping in ’79, has over 30,000 jumps, and has been in the sport all his life, competing for 35 years. He has a strong competition history in both Canopy Piloting and Formation Skydiving, having represented Italy in both disciplines at World Level, and been Italian national champion 5 times. Pete won a CP World Championship medal and has many FS World Championship and World Cup medals. Pete is also a veteran UK 4-way and 8-way competitor, National Champion 18 times! Pete’s teams used to often do the grand slam of winning both 4-way and 8-way at UK Nationals.
Very informative instructor forum at Flight-1 in Deland, thanks to Maxine, Jo Jo and Brian. I'm looking forward to teaching and using that information – hopefully not the first aid!
Mental Coach
Pete is a well known coach of countless teams, through UK Tunnel Camp and his current home drop zone at Skydive Empuriabrava. Pete exudes calm, he has always excelled at mental aspects of coaching and doubtless will bring this strength to play in canopy piloting.
Safety
Pete has done a lot to save lives. In 2011 & 12 he traveled around Italy giving his safety presentation ‘fuelled by espresso in a Fiat 500’. This was reformatted to Skydive Mag’s most popular safety article ever, The Two Ways to Die. Pete’s written many more great articles. Despite this impressive pedigree he is one of the most humble, relaxed people you’d ever be lucky enough to meet.
